What is Z-Wave Technology?
Z-Wave is an affordable, robust, and easy to install home control solution Z-Wave is a technology that allows users to create a wireless, two-way mesh network within a single family home, condo or apartment. This network allows complete control of a large number of compatible devices throughout the home from a single remote control, wall panel, or Internet interface. Its ability to operate as a mesh network (i.e. with no central controller) is one of Z-Wave?s greatest advantages. Rather than depending solely on line-of-sight communications like other technologies, Z-Wave is able to get around obstacles by routing commands through other devices in the network when required. With a Z-Wave network, if the signal is blocked the first time the signal will notify the controller that it did not complete the connection and the network will immediately seek an alternative path. It may go to a hallway light, then the thermostat, then a dimmer switch in the dining room before ultimately reaching
